nsCamShow

Displays information about remote devices in the Name Server (NS) cache.

SYNOPSIS

nscamshow [-t]

DESCRIPTION

Use this command to display the local NS cache information about the devices discovered in the fabric
by the NS cache manager.

If the NS cache manager does not discover new switches or new devices in the fabric, the command
displays the message "No Entry is found!"

For each discovered remote switch, this command displays the following information:

Switch entry for N

Displays the remote domain ID for the switch.

state

Displays one of the following values:

known

The local domain is aware of all the devices from this remote domain.

unknown

The local domain is unaware of devices from this remote domain.

ERROR

The information for this remote domain is unreliable.

rev

Fabric OS firmware version of the remote switch. For switches running firmware
other than Fabric OS, a string of question marks ("????") is displayed.

owner

Displays the owner of the NSCAM database entry. The value displayed is a
domain ID (domain address). For example, 0xfffc02 indicates domain 2 and is the
domain on which the command has been executed. This is the local domain and
the information is stored locally by this switch.

cap_available

Each switch in the fabric exchanges information regarding its capabilities (for
example, firmware level, feature support, etc.). When the cap_available value is
1, it indicates that the local domain has received the capabilities of the remote
domain that is being displayed. When the value is 0 capability information has not
been received.

The remaining information displayed for each device is the same that is displayed by the nsShow
command. Refer to the nsShow help page for a description of these displays.

NOTES

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.

OPERANDS

The following operand is optional:

-t

Displays the device type. The device type is defined in terms of two attributes. The
first attribute indicates the origination of the device as one of the following:

Physical

The device is connected to the NX_Port, using FLOGI to log in to the switch.
